2007-2008 Annual Report

Cedarville graduates have the talent and credibility to shape our culture in key fields like government, media, education, health care, science, and more. It’s exciting to be part of something so meaningful. And I join a community of dedicated faculty, staff, and supporters who see tremendous potential for Cedarville. Financial support for the University is an indicator of institutional strength and alumni connection. I am pleased to share that we have seen an increase in giving in several areas this past fiscal year. The momentum that began with the Center for Biblical and Theological Studies campaign carried over into other areas like The Cedarville Fund, CDR Radio, and Yellow Jacket athletics. The following pages provide an account as well as outcomes from last year’s charitable giving. It is clear that When I first heard Dr. Brown articulate Cedarville’s vision, it captured my imagination. This institution is preparing students to think biblically about today’s critical issues. many share in the vision! Even in the midst of difficult economic times, God’s people gave generously to provide for God’s work at Cedarville. Together we are making a real difference in students’ lives. This is right where I want to be. Influencing today’s culture is no small task. It takes quality resources to provide quality preparation for our students. Our vision is what distinguishes Cedarville University from being just another school — it is what makes your investment so worthwhile.
